Opening a PSD file

I am very new to using GIMP and I just tried to open a psd file that a client sent me but I got this error message:
Error loading PSD file: Unsupported compression mode: 13568
Anyone know how I can open this file?

"Unsupported compression mode: 23398" with 2.6.5

Hi, I have the very same problem with gimp 2.6.5 on Gentoo Linux. And even worse, this file has been created by Gimp! Any idea how the file can be recovered? I don't want to lose my work :-( Thanks for any help Brain

BUG

It could be solved in 2.6.1: 2008-10-08 Martin Nordholts Bug 555222 – PSD Load Plugin: unsupported compression mode * plug-ins/file-psd/psd-load.c (add_layers): Some PSD files can have channels where a compression method used for the channel data is specified, but without any actual channel data. Handle this case. Fix inspired by patch from Chris Mohler.

Uhhhmmm...

Maybe I'm just dumb, but where do you actually get the plug-in from? I'm on 2.6.1 (on a mac) right now, and I'm having the same problem with an image I could previously open. Thankyou :)

Oh goodness.

Sorry. I'm actually on version 2.6.3. But the problem is still persisting. Anyone have any ideas?
